Acupuncture with a sound bath is a holistic therapy that combines the ancient practice of acupuncture with therapeutic sounds to promote deep relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being. It's a synergistic approach where the acupuncture needles can regulate the body's energy flow (Qi), while the sound vibrations from singing bowls, gongs, and chimes resonate with the body, further harmonizing and balancing energy. Ashley Martinelli, L.Ac will focus the community acupuncture session on ear points which can relax the nervous system, promote rest, and balance Qi, as well as body points to support the Lungs and Large Intestine, the organs associated with Fall in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Alana Saporiti, Sound Weaver, will accompany with a sound bath to further support and stimulate the vagus nerve, melting the body into the parasympathetic rest and digest response.
Step into a quiet, contemplative space where the simple act of preparing and sipping tea becomes a path to presence, remembrance, and connection. This silent practice invites participants to slow down, attune to the senses, and cultivate awareness of the body, breath, and mind. By letting go of expectations or desired outcomes, the mind is given space to drop into stillness, and a deep listening arises, toward the self, the natural rhythms around us, and the wisdom held within.The ceremony nurtures simplicity, reverence, and a mindful connection to the present moment. elevate wellness lounge
